Immigration nailed me recently for a temporary drop below 800k. My balance a few days shy of three months AFTER Non-O renewal, fell to around 795,000 for a short time. When I went to renew a few months ago...bye bye gringo. Visa cancelled. "You must leave Thailand within two weeks". A hurried week in Vientiane, Laos. New Non-O visa, back to Thai immig, jumped through more hoops, and managed to put the jigsaw puzzle back together again. Maybe cost me US$1,500 altogether. Plus the hassle. Personally I think this 800K lockup is a bad law for Thailand and the Thai people. Yes prove we can support ourselves for residency, but then let us spend the money in Thailand. Forcing us to spend less money in Thailand makes no sense to me. I'm okay locking up cash for three months before residence renewal, but after that we should be encouraged to spend it. Another issue is what happens to the 800K when I die? Thai will? Six months of probate? If the immig start 90 day tourist visas I might look into escaping the 800K lockup.
